Ramla bint Sa'id ibn Zayd was an early Qurayshi woman of Banu Adi and a wife of Hasan al-Muthanna ibn al-Hasan. Nasab Quraysh, Ibn Sa'd's Tabaqat, and Ansab al-Ashraf preserve her full paternal lineage and this marriage. The earliest lists securely identify Muhammad ibn al-Hasan as her son, while some later genealogical transmissions add daughters named Ruqayya and Fatima. No reliable independent account preserves her mother, birth, death, or verified burial.
Her year, age, and circumstances of death are not preserved in reliable early sources, so no specific date is assigned.
Her verified burial place is unknown. No particular grave or shrine can be treated as the established burial of Ramla bint Sa'id, and this file contains no shrine or location linkage.
Biography and historical profile
Ramla bint Sa'id ibn Zayd ibn Amr ibn Nufayl belonged to the Qurayshi clan of Banu Adi. Her father, Sa'id ibn Zayd, was an early Muslim and a well-known Companion. Nasab Quraysh and Ibn Sa'd's Tabaqat both preserve Ramla's full name and Adawi lineage explicitly. The documented father details in the reviewed source material are blank, so they have not been edited; a separate relationship review has been prepared for Sa'id ibn Zayd.
Her marriage to Hasan ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali, known as Hasan al-Muthanna, is established in early genealogical sources. The union formed a documented family connection between Banu Adi and the Hasani branch of Ahl al-Bayt. The existing protected spouse link represents this marriage and was confirmed by the source audit, so it has been preserved unchanged.
Musab al-Zubayri's Nasab Quraysh and Ibn Sa'd's Tabaqat identify Ramla as the mother of Muhammad ibn al-Hasan. Muhammad is the child whose maternity is clearest in the earliest sources. A later Alid genealogical transmission, preserved in a note to Umdat al-Talib and attributed to Manahil al-Darb, also names daughters Ruqayya and Fatima as her children; this has been retained only as a later reported attribution, not as an early unanimous conclusion.
The accessible reliable sources do not separately identify Ramla's mother. They also preserve no dependable individual account of her education, hadith transmission, travels, public role, or independent scholarly activity. She must not be confused with Fatima bint al-Khattab, who was also called or surnamed Ramla in some reports, with Ramla bint Abi Sufyan, or with other Adawi and Qurayshi women. The blank documented mother details therefore remain unchanged.
Her years of birth and death are unknown, and no reliable early source establishes her funeral or burial place. Her marriage to Hasan al-Muthanna and maternity of Muhammad place her within the first Islamic century, but a more precise chronology would be unsafe. No particular grave or shrine can be verified as hers, so the protected shrine and GPS fields remain blank.

Historical importance and legacy
Ramla's primary historical importance lies in a securely preserved genealogical and marital connection. She was a daughter of Sa'id ibn Zayd and a wife of Hasan al-Muthanna, linking Banu Adi with the Hasani family in a documented union.
Her profile also illustrates responsible use of limited evidence. Accepting Muhammad's maternity as strongly established, labeling Ruqayya and Fatima as a later genealogical attribution, and refusing to invent a mother, death date, or grave preserves historical integrity.
